[Python-ideas] Re: Introduce constant variables in Python

Thomas Grainger:

This is already available with typing.Final and immutable types:

from typing import Final

ham: Final = 3 ham = 4 # Error

hams: Final[Sequence[str]] = ["ham", "spam"] hams.append("meat") # Error

I'm not sure whether it's a reply to me or someone else. But anyways this is a convention. mypy will detect it. *But* I have a feeling that constants can have performance improvements though I'm not sure.
